House of the Week: Convenience and Charm under $600,000 in Graduate Hospital

Ask anyone who has to commute outside of the city, and weaving your way through city traffic will definitely add another 15 minutes to your commute. Well with this week's home, that city commute time gets pretty short.

2532 South Street is a quick hop onto South Street bridge to get out of town. Also an awesome location for city walkers and certainly for those who work at Penn or CHOP!

And while most of South Street is pretty busy, this far end of the street stays pretty residential. Plus its only a couple blocks to the Schuylkill River trail!

2532 South Street - $575,000

3 beds, 2 1/2 baths, 1844 sq ft, central air, 3 beautiful stories, an upstairs laundry, large back patio and a den/family room off the kitchen!

On top of all of that, this home has some real charm left to it and even some room for added equity.

And you can take a look yourself this Sat AND Sun, the 20th & 21st, from 2-3 both days.

Because often news is sensationalism and this one is no different. Did something actually change? Yes, a little. NAR (the National Association of Realtors - the trade organization that makes a real estate agent a 'Realtor' by a separate code of ethics and educational criteria) settled a case that brought about a few, minor changes. 1. It eliminated any requirement that listing brokers or sellers must make offers of compensation to buyers brokers. 2. It prohibits sellers and their agents from making offers of compensation on the MLS and disclosing any compensation and requires the elimination of all compensation fields on the MLS. 3. It requires MLS members working with buyers to enter into written agreements with those buyers. So what changed? Not much....

Neighborhood Spot Light: Media

In the covid and post-covid (are we finally post??) era of suburban boom, many people are finding they are having to settle for less. Less house, less yard, not their ideal school district or commute, less walkability, etc. But one area in the Western Suburbs that seems like a gem for continuing to be affordable (in comparison to the Main Line), walkable, charming and accessible is Media Borough and its surrounding neighborhoods (Rose Valley, Wallingford, and nearby Swarthmore). Image courtesy of Riddle Village Media is another Victorian, suburban hub, among many around greater Philly. A walkable downtown with mid-19th century architecture and a wide variety of restaurants, bars and stores makes it a charming locale. Its one of the few non-Main Line hubs, though, that has several direct rail lines in the city, though, making this a wonderful spot for urban commuters. Its main street (State St) is home to an accessible Trader Joes, several local brewery chains like Bric...
